Ted is one of the Mortgage broker that my buyer agent Alice referred to me when I was searching and purchasing my home. He is awesome! Especially when I am shopping around, and did comparison with other lender my attorney referred.
Ted is very knowledgeable and also very professional broker. As a first time home buyer, we have no idea the entire process would be, he spoke with us on the phone about an hour, explained to us every things we need to know in detail while we planning our purchasing. He is very patient to us as well, never rush us to make decision but when we have questions he always response very quick.( Normally we got our email replied within one hour and got call back right away). Beside that, he also helped us a lot during our house hunting. When we have not decided a clear area to search place, instead of hard pulling our credit to issue a mortgage pre-approval letter, he reviewed our financial paper and issued us a mortgage pre-qualified letter in convenience of our home hunting. Latter on when we finally find our dream home, and start our loan application. He also helped us by writing letter explain why my wife have a 2 year career gap to convince the lender bank approve the loan.( She was temporally lived in Hawaii with me as Army Spouse and preparing her CPA exam while I was stationed there). Mean while he coordinate and communicate with other party that associated with the purchase deal very well. The interest rate was very fluctuate during that period, he keep us update about the interest rate all the time so we locked a very good and competitive rate. The closing cost was reasonable too. Even though our closing got delayed due to the seller's schedule which cause our contract expired. He stilled helped us explained to the lender that the deal is still on going so the closing can be successfully completed. I can not remember how many emails and phone call I made during my purchase.
He gave us countless help and wise advise during the entire process which save us a lot of money and time.
I would definitely recommend Ted as a professional lender to my friend again in the future!

Ted was excellent, I cannot put in words the difference between him and the many other mortgage brokers I spoke to! The others literally explained nothing, and would kind of blow you off, when you had any sort of question. I recently switched from W2 to 1099 Self-Employeed and all they told me was get us a W2 and we'll go from there. Where as when I called Ted he wasn't even sure if he could help me because this was a CO-OP, but he still took 30 minutes of his time and explain the process to me and how to structure my mortgage application properly!! Even though I changed my mind on purchasing something due to increased down payment requirements, he will get my business in the future and many referrals. Where as the other mortgage brokers literally had my business in their hands, and just threw it away. I challenge anyone to go speak with other brokers to see the difference, it's incomparable.

Ted Ark explained in detail what I was in for with the purchase of my first home on my own. He responded promptly and calmly at times when I was not all together calm myself. He always had a handle of what was going on and what the next steps were. He was a good mix of keeping me informed while handling the details during the complex path of obtaining a mortgage. I highly recommend him.

How do you begin describing the perfect customer service experience? Ted Ark! That's how. I can't say enough when it comes to the level of service I received from Ted. I was very nervous being a first time homebuyer, and I didn't even know where to start or if I was even in a position to qualify to buy. Ted guided me through process with the utmost care as if he was helping his own child. He was always available over the phone when I had a question, and even while he was on vacation he was able to respond to every question and concern I had. Ted is very patient and I never once felt as though I was a bother or asking silly questions. In my opinion there is no one else but Ted Ark you should look for to help with the mortgage process. The best customer service I've received anywhere!

I found Ted when I was scouring the Internet looking for local brokers. It was the best decision I ever made. Being a first time home buyer, Ted explained every facet of the mortgage process from step 1 until closing. He was responsive, thorough, knowledgable and most importantly, very patient with me and my millions of questions. I would recommend Ted at Golden Mortgage to anyone who is looking for an honest and knowledgeable broker.

Ted handled refinancing very efficiently and remotely although I am literally 2 miles away from his office. Response by email or phone was immediate and if he didn't have answer got back to me very quickly. Closing was coordinated and although I went to closing office they would have come to me if necessary. All fees, rates and documentation was handled very, very effectively. Would strongly recommend him, works for the client not financial institutions or lawyers.- K. Chopov, Bridgewater, NJ
